Jobvine is closed
The live Jobvine alternative for South African hiring
Jobvine.co.za now shows a closure banner. Hirewaar is an operating job board and freelancer marketplace: structured listings, city pages, ZAR pricing, and no credit wall to talk to someone who already applied.
What Jobvine offered — and what Hirewaar ships
| Capability | Jobvine (closed) | Hirewaar (live) |
|---|---|---|
| Job board | Free listings + agency posts | Verified employers, 30-day posts, JobPosting schema |
| CV / apply once | Single CV upload | Reusable candidate profile + screening answers |
| Freelance marketplace | Heavily advertised; credits to contact | Public gig pages; employers pay to post jobs, not to read a name |
| Regional coverage | Weekly Facebook round-ups | Permanent city and province pages |
| Career advice | Guidance content | Guides tied to live apply/post CTAs |
| Recruiter tools | TalentFinder / Premium package | Dashboard, screening questions, subscriptions and seats |
| Pricing | Credits — recruiters spent credits to view candidate profiles | R50 intro / R79 per post · ZAR via Paystack · see pricing |
Why this is better than copying a closed board
Jobvine mixed a job board, a freelance marketplace, and recruiter upsells. Hirewaar keeps the useful parts and drops the friction: candidates never pay, listings expire cleanly (410, not a homepage redirect), and every public job carries structured data that Google for Jobs and answer engines can cite.
We did not buy Jobvine. Tayie (Pty) Ltd built Hirewaar as a live South African product. If you arrived from a “Jobvine closed” search, start here: browse jobs, hire a freelancer, or post a role.
FAQ
- Did Jobvine close?
- Yes. The Jobvine website states that it is closed and points visitors elsewhere. The Facebook page is dormant.
- What replaced Jobvine’s job board?
- Hirewaar lists South African jobs with structured applications, city landing pages, and Google JobPosting markup — the crawlable board Jobvine no longer provides.
- What replaced Jobvine Freelance?
- Hirewaar Freelancers: public gig pages with skills, rates and city. No credit meter to start a conversation with someone who already published their availability.
- Did Hirewaar buy Jobvine?
- No. Hirewaar is an independent product from Tayie (Pty) Ltd. We built the features Jobvine marketed — jobs, freelance, regional hubs — on a board that is actually live.
